Idea #2229: Provide a simple graphical interface to manage ntp syncronisation

Description

There is no possibility in the gui to synchronize for example every 15 minutes computertime and ntp-time. It would be nice to have an indication window for the two times and the possibility to synchronize the time instantly and get a response.

Good! I don't want such bloat in my GUI.

It's a one-line CRON job to set up regular synchronization forever.

The way it works right now there is no indication of how often it syncs with the time servers. I would like to be able to adjust the interval or at least know what the standard interval is. There is no reason why the gui shouldn't do that much.

I don't think the current GUI interface actually does anything. I had to write a cron job to use the "ntpdate" to update it every day.

More feedback in the dialog would be nice, I think.

Like "Synchronized to ntp.whatever.xx 1h22m ago." or something in that manner.
